I really, I
mean REALLY, love umeboshi plum. When I was on a 30 day raw food retreat almost
two years ago I missed it so much that I had a friend drive me an hour away, to
another town, just so I could buy some. I feel really balanced when I include
it in my diet. It replaces lost minerals and has been known to cure a hangover.
Considered in macrobiotics to be the king of alkaline food, I like the
salty/sour taste that it adds to grains, sushi rolls and especially the late
summer gem that is corn on the cob. I’m a sucker for a salty/sweet combo and
ume paste on corn on the cob does just that for me in a healthy way. Give it a
shot!
